Woke up to the TV News of the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. Happened in Orlando Florida. Over 50 dead and 53 wounded from an attack in a night club.
So far nobody is saying "terrorism" however the name of the shooter is Omar Saddiqui Mateen. He'd been trained as a security guard and unfortunately pledged allegiance to ISIS.
No response from any group or ISIS itself - yet but the chatter is that ISIS is happy concerning the attack.
VERY TRAGIC. Orlando is a prime holiday destination. Can't imagine all the families who are now desperately trying to reach other family members who are vacationing there. SAD and TRAGIC.
